On The - Cover - Of The Atlantic: "Dear Mr. Bush, You Approved Torture,"

Edited on Mon Sep-14-09 03:55 PM by kpete

Dear President Bush,

I believe that if you review the facts of your two terms of office, you will be forced to realize that, whatever your intentions, you undermined this fundamental American principle. You may not have intended that to occur. But you were the commander in chief and president, and these were presidential-level decisions. The responsibility for all of this is yours�before the American people and before the court of history. And you need finally to own these decisions, to take full responsibility for them, to account for them, to explain them, and, yes, to apologize for their scope and brutality.
